A Correct answer
Explanation

Article 79 of the Indian Constitution states that 'Parliament shall consist of the President, the Council of States (Rajya Sabha), and the House of the People (Lok Sabha).' While many think of Parliament as just the two houses, the President is an integral constituent. The President summons and prorogues sessions, can dissolve the Lok Sabha, and must assent to bills before they become law. Option B is incorrect because it omits the President.
